I am holding my first contest: so here, it goes:

Theme: Quotes

Goal: to illustrate a quote.

Limitations: the quote may not contain racial slurs or extremely fowl words, the deviation may not either. The deviation should be ‘clean’ and it cannot breach DA policies. (if you have trouble defining clean ask me *fudgyvmp for help) deviations my not be literature, as much as I and other judges may love reading, if written deviations were entered judging would take years; otherwise all mediums will be welcome.

Requirements:

Artist comments should contain a link to the news article you learned about the contest from.
Artist comments must contain the quote.
Artist comments must contain the name of who or what you are quoting (You may not quote yourself).
If you use stock in anyway, credit must be given or you will be disqualified
Quotes must be in English (you may however translate from whatever language you want into English)
The deviation must be related to the quote (ie: don't quote something about hope and draw a nuclear bomb destroying everything unless it makes some sort of sense to others)
The deviation must be entered before September 1 EST(Eastern Standard Time)

Here is an example of an entry: [link] the only problem here is that there is no link back to the article (that’s because this is not an entry to the contest)

Other: deviations may be old or new, if they are old be sure to update the artist comments so they fit with contest requirements.

Here are some examples of quotes;

"Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned"--Solomon

"If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea does one person enjoy it?” --anonymous

"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become" --C. S. Lewis

"Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?” --Gregory Maguire

"Give me Liberty or give me Death"--Patrick Henry

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” -- Walt Disney
